Free to be let out again? (8)
I believe the answer is:
released
'free' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'let out again?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'let' could be 'leased' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'leased' is found within the answer.
'again?' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for released that I've seen before include "Set free" , "Discharged" , "free after imprisonment?" , "Sent from prison" , "Liberated" .)
